Update: All three entrances to the Bradner Preserve are open and ready for your visit. Happy hiking!

⚠️Alert at the Bradner Preserve:
The main entrance is open, but the Caldwell Road and Timmons Road entrances will be temporarily closed for the next several days. We are working with the Wood County Highway Department to improve the entrances drives and parking lots. Work is starting today and is expected to wrap up by next Friday, September 15th. They will be preparing the areas then tar & chip sealing them. This should provide a much-improved surface for our park users.

The main entrance to Bradner Preserve (11491 Fostoria Road/State Route 23, Bradner, OH 43406) remains open and accessible to visitors.

Thank you!
